EB I-485 after RFE — next steps timing? spouse case not updated
Hi — quick question (employment-based case).
RFE response was delivered about 5–6 weeks ago.
Case was stuck on “Response To RFE Received,” and recently changed to:
“Correspondence Was Received And USCIS Is Reviewing It.”
My derivative spouse case has not had the same update yet.
For those who had this status change:
• how long did it take to get the next update?
• did your spouse case update at the same time or later?
Thanks!

I came here october 2018 with my mom I was a cr2 was category on my 2 year green which i received on november 11 2019 and it expired on 2021 which was filed via i485. (My mom married her US Citizen fiance on november 2018, he died on 2023) things went down my mom and i left home due to abuse on 2020 and went to a shelter march 2020 till november 2022. my mom filed vawa on march 2022. if my vawa gets approved what will be the next step? would i file another i485 or n400?
Can my time as a CF2 conditional resident from 2019 be credited toward my naturalization residency requirement under VAWA? Or should I wait for my vawa to be approved and apply for n400 (because some say I’m eligible).
Self deportation
Hi everyone, my brother is a 10 year green card holder and was on his way back to the US from a travel. When he got to the border patrol they told him he was inadmissible due to a previous arrest.
And the gave him an option to go to Ice detainment center while he waits to get in front of an immigration attorney or self deport.
he didn’t want to go into ice detention so he chose to self deport.
Now we are looking for ways to get back his green card.
we spoke to an attorney who said we can file a law suit with a federal judge to get the green card back since he signed the papers out of duress.
Has anyone ever been through this and if so how was it rectified?
please be kind in the comments, thank you.
